Through interaction diagrams, you kind of had a way of saying how one thread of control would interact with another, but when it came to representing something that should be translated to a task, complete with rendesvous, etc, there didn't seem to be any way of expressing this. I hear rumors from Dr. Dobbs that there is some sort of revision going on to come up with a v2.0 of UML. Has anybody heard if there is any intention to support tasks with some kind of diagram symbol? UML seems to be bent on the assumption that all software will be built via OOD & I've had a hard time ibn the past trying to make it fit something that was not OOD, so I'm wondering if they are at all considering making it more general - or at least making it possible to describe Ada programs more thoroughly.
